Today, I’m going to tell about the crowns of the Pharaohs. All images from this article are from Wikipedia.com.
The first crown was supposed to look like this:
The Atef crown is the white crown of upper Egypt with ostrich feathers on the front and back. This was worn by Orisis. I’m not quite sure when he lived, probably in the pre-dynastic periods. The Deshret was the crown of lower Egypt before it was united by Pharaoh Menes. Probably also from pre-dynastic periods. It is a curve up to a point, with a curl in the front. The little hole at the bottom is an ear hole.
The Headjet was worn by Upper Egypt in this same time period. It is like a stretched out dome with another on top.
The Pschent was the double crown worn by Pharaoh Menes, the Ptolemaic Dynasty, and others. It combines the crown of lower Egypt and upper Egypt.
Here is an image of Ptolemy VI wearing the Egyptian Crown. Please note that Ptolemy was not Egyptian.
This Khepresh is the new kingdom crown. It would probably have been worn during battle or at special ceremonies.
Here is an image of a statue of Tutankahmun wearing this crown:
There is also the Nemes, a typical headdress.
So that’s it! If I missed any, I’m sorry. Thanks for reading!
